Fine Art Photography by a Collection of Fine Photographers

Undecided . . .     by Andreas Manessinger

A view out of a window into an indistinct urban scenery. Depth of field is so shallow, you only vaguely recognize a facade and windows, but not much more.

I have long wondered about how to title this image. For me it is somewhere in that surreal middle ground between perfectly real and completely abstract. The point of view is so low, that there is some aspect of being caught inside. I am not sure if this is positive or negative. Then there is the vaguely recognizable row of windows, quickly fading into a nondescript mist. There is a kind of gray warmth outside, but it does not give me a cozy feeling. Uncertainty? I don’ know. I am undecided.
